this is the first time I have used groups and I can say I will think
twice before doing so again.

That's fine.

Newsgroups are like ongoing conversations at a social gathering. People
meeting together to relax, chat and discuss topics of common interest.
It will be good that you think carefully before posting again. The folks
in newsgroups, and uk.rec.gardening in particular, are mostly g
good-natured and friendly but very few groups of people would take
kindly to someone coming up to them and, as their first contribution,
encouraging them to shop at a particular business.

If you're interested in gardening you're welcome to stay and join in the
conversations.
